      Modeling axion-meson mixing in eta/eta' decays 1h Seminar room/Department's Library

      Although the axion has been around for almost 50 years, no experimental signals of these pseudoscalar particles have been found, and its couplings to Standard Model particles are poorly constrained. In this work, we explore the rare decay η(′) → ππa, sensitive to axion-meson mixing, by developing an effective field theory based on Chiral Perturbation Theory and extended to include the axion with the final purpose of deriving analytical expressions for the η(′)–π–a mixing angles. Hierarchical relations among them can be proposed, thus reducing the number of free coupling constants in the theory. The explicit incorporation of the axion offers a novel theoretical tool to probe axion physics in rare meson decays as well as giving insight into the non-perturbative structure of QCD.

      Spectrum and dynamics of bosonic stars and their hairy black holes 1h Seminar room/Department's Library

      I will discuss the current understanding of the landscape of bosonic
      stars in simple GR models, the hairy black holes that are associated with them, and the corresponding dynamics. Some applications to phenomenological questions will be addressed.
